Zodiac is the seventh studio album by electronic rock band Electric Six. [4] [3] [5] [6] It was released in 2010 on Metropolis Records. [7]
According to an official statement by the band, the songs on the album have been arranged to correspond with the signs of the Zodiac. [8] The album contains a cover version of The Spinners 1976 classic " The Rubberband Man".
The album's title was inspired by the song "Typical Sagittarius", which the band wrote for the album, but chose not to include in the final cut. [9] Other songs recorded but left off of the finished album include "I Can Translate" which was released as a B-Side on the limited "Jam It in the Hole" single and as a bonus track on European iTunes downloads of the album. The band also recorded a cover of " The Warrior" by Scandal which they originally planned to make available as a free internet download. [10] It was ultimately included on their 2015 compilation album Mimicry and Memories.
Although the album cover was presumed by some to be a photo of lead singer Dick Valentine, it is in fact a stock photo that was licensed for use as the album cover. [11]
All tracks are written by Tyler Spencer, except "The Rubberband Man" by Thom Bell and Linda Creed
